Itinerary
Meet your guide at Piazzale Montelungo bus terminal
Your day begins at the centrally located bus terminal, just steps from Santa Maria Novella train station. Board an air-conditioned coach and settle in as your trip leader introduces the day ahead.
Travel through Tuscany to the Ligurian Coast
Sit back and enjoy the scenic drive through rolling Tuscan hills toward the dramatic coastline of Liguria. Your trip leader provides insights into the region's history and UNESCO status while you watch the landscape transform from countryside to sparkling Mediterranean views.
Explore Manarola's medieval alleys
Your first stop is Manarola, one of the oldest and most picturesque villages in Cinque Terre. After a brief orientation, you'll have free time to wander narrow medieval streets, admire pastel-colored houses clinging to cliffsides, and sample the local sweet wine, Sciacchetrà.
Discover Vernazza's colorful port
Next, hop on the coastal train to Vernazza, often called Italy's most beautiful village. Stroll through its charming harbor lined with colorful fishing boats, climb up to the centuries-old castle for panoramic views, and soak in the authentic coastal atmosphere before continuing your journey.
Relax on Monterosso al Mare's beach
A short train ride brings you to Monterosso, the largest of the five towns and the only one with a proper sandy beach. Take advantage of your free time to dip your toes in the Mediterranean, grab lunch at a local trattoria, or simply relax under the Ligurian sun.
